Good work Kym,
Fences pose all kinds of problems for wildlife.
Unfortunately we were too late for this Emu near Burra SA a while back. Sadly not an unusual situation.

Subject: [canberrabirds] Female Masked Woodswallow Stuck in Barbed Wire
image of the bird caught in barb wire via toe and tail feather was taken at a distance to see if an intervention was needed not a good image at all
Released her with no major damage, held for a minute or so opened one finger at a time and off she flew
One thing I did notice when I had her in my hands on the barbed wire is how soft she was compared to other birds
